interesting. Put a 90 degree grease fitting one one of the bikes, this would make it just as easy. Does it work well?

Renny, that adapter worked perfectly. I used an extension tube with a smaller grease gun but the adapter worked awesome. About 11,250 miles on the bike and it was very dry...drawback of using the smaller grease gun was two "mini-cartridges" required.
